How the Toad Got His Diploma*

It came without homework
It came without tests
It came without thinking
Or trying
Or doing his best.

I puzzled and puzzed
'Til my puzzler was was sore
Graduation time came
With its cheers and more.

I doubted, I wondered
I guessed and I prayed
I hoped that the fairies
Came through with his grades.

No yelling, no swearing
Could change in the least
That he, he himself, got that paper
All signed and complete.

Congratulations, Toadwort. We do love you, you know.

*Kevin & I apologize to the late Dr Suess

LOL. Well, at least you were able to write a witty poem about it!

I love the poem. I think Dr Suess would have loved the rhyme.
